For some reason, I had never had a chance to go to the Hacienda Huayoccari in the Sacred Valley (in spite of having worked in tourism for several years). I had heard countless times about how beautiful it was, about its unique collections, and about how mysteriously enchanting it was. As I reached a road surrounded by cultivated fields, eucalyptus forests and leafy Pisonay trees lining the route to the estate, I saw that reality greatly exceeded my expectations.
